Probing the vacuum as a chiral medium
T. Heinzl, B. King, A. Mercuri-Baron
We study the circular birefringence experienced by linearly polarised photons colliding with a circularly polarised background creating a vacuum of definite chirality (handedness).…
Multiplicity of electron- and photon-seeded electromagnetic showers at multi-petawatt laser facilities
M. Pouyez, A. A. Mironov, T. Grismayer +5
Electromagnetic showers developing from the collision of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a beam of high-energy electrons or photons are investigated under conditions relevant to…
Growth rate of self-sustained QED cascades induced by intense lasers
A. Mercuri-Baron, A. A. Mironov, C. Riconda +2
It was suggested [A. R. Bell & J. G. Kirk, PRL 101, 200403 (2008)] that an avalanche of electron-positron pairs can be triggered in the laboratory by a standing wave generated by i…
Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production
A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4
The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…
